Once again you only know
those people existed because of the special revelation given to us in scripture.
Those mentioned in your post had direct revelation from God. No one today receives direct revelation.

THERE ARE THREE WAYS God reveals himself to man

1 General Revelation= By the Things He created Roman chapter 1

2. Special Revelation = His word
3. Illumination= By His Spirit

And never said I only know there are many here who know this :).

You couldn’t be more incorrect.

The 66 books of the Bible is the greatest Gift God has given to mankind.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
So is it recommended that services be lead by a well read atheist?

I do not believe you, nor am I called to believe you.
I believe scripture as that is the God given gift to believers.
You can choose to believe or not that is your choice but by not believing in such things you limit them for yourself but that to is your choice.

Just know that there is a whole other side to God that one can only come to know once that door has been opened

No...your supposed tes.timony is unscriptural
Then please by all means prove it wrong with scripture if it is so unscriptural it should be an easy matter

I know what you are saying in terms of infinite value.
Without scripture we would not know anything you are posting about.
“Without scripture we would not know anything you are posting about”

amen

scripture carries the true message and wisdom of the gospel of the son the true and unchanging message of Jesus Christ the son.

Without scripture we would all have to depend on man to be honest in spreading the message of Jesus word of mouth and no one ever taking advantage or making money off the message or changing it to benefit themselves

man is so fallible and less than faithful it seems without scripture bare remnants of the true message of Jesus Christ the son would be left today all these years later with no scripture each person could define Christianity themselves scripture does that for us

People undervalue the gift of the scriptures which is how God has designed to speak to us.

amen to that people look at scriptire like it’s creating a mystery that can’t be known but it’s actually explaining things that can’t be known without hearing and accepting scripture

scripture itself creates the right faith it’s value to the Christian life cannot be overstated

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the promises he made in scripture will always remain the same from when Jesus spoke the gospel until the end of the world all we need to do is hear and learn what he said
